Trash the Dress ~ Desert style

2008-03-13T02:34:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, a HUGE group of photographers, models, hairstylists and make-up artists made the LONG trek to Palm Springs for a Trash the Dress session. I was grateful to ride up there with two other sweet photographers, Daisy and Lynn. We all had such a fantastic time! Not only did I leave with some incredible images from the day, but I won a SHOOTSAC!!! I've been wanting a shootsac since they came out. I'm going to WPPI (vegas baby) on Sunday so I get to check out all of the new shootsac covers....so exciting!
I have so many images from the day that I thought I'd break them up into two posts. I'm going to leave my photo shoot with Dominique for later...they turned out so great that I'm going to keep you in suspense. heehee

Here's a SNEAK peek at Dominques photo shoot :)

Getting Personal

2008-03-04T09:49:00.000-08:00

Today is my birthday. I have no idea where the time went or when I'm going to actually grow up, but today, I am 37. Wow.
I thought I'd post about my life and take time to reflect on all of the blessings. I am engaged to the most wonderful man in the world. We have been together for over 6 years and we are just as happy now as we were in those first wonderful months of dating (you know that giddy feeling you have when you see that person). Well, I still have that feeling :) So, I thought I'd show you who Ross is....... the first picture is of us seconds after we got engaged. He is not the type of man that buys me flowers......he is the type of man that warms my side of the bed before I get in it.....so thoughtful.......

So back to my blessings: this year is going to be the best year of my life. My business is slowly and steadily growing. I am getting married in July!!! I live in San Diego (the best city on earth), I have the most amazing family and friends who go out of their way to support me. I am also networking with the coolest peers you can find and I'm doing everything in my power to make my dreams come true.
Life is great! I strongly encourage all of you to follow your dreams. Life is too short to do anything else. Make yourself happy, we only get one shot at this time on earth...what are you doing today that makes you happy???
Please visit JeshDeRox's "Remembering" if you need some inspiration.
Thank you for inviting me into your life, if only for a brief moment. Oh and happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me la la la la la la la happy birthday to meeeeeeeeee (my family sings to me EVERY birthday over the phone...its a tradition and I always look forward to it....I love you guys)

Using Photoshop actions for wedding images

2008-01-30T21:25:00.000-08:00

So I recently attended a wedding convention, DWF, in Tampa. I went to learn all of the newest trends, products, speakers, etc. What I left with was so much more. I have to say, I am very impressed with the friendliness of other wedding photographers. I have never been to a convention before where everyone seemed like long lost friends. One of the best gadgets that I found was the Totally Rad Actions by the Boutwell's. I used them for these bridal portraits I did recently and I have to say, I just LOVE them. Let me know what you think! Thanks for looking!

Child Portraits in Orlando

2008-01-13T18:53:00.001-08:00

I had the opportunity to travel to Orlando this past week and took portraits of two of the cutest kids on earth, Maya and Caleb. Maya is the typical princess with a pink barrett in her hair and Caleb was the typical boy, jumping out of trees, zipping around in a racecar, and both running as fast as they could. I seem to get the best shots of children when they don't know they are being watched. Oh, there are gratuitous pictures of puppies too. Thanks Monique and Joe for involving me in the day. Enjoy, I did!

Bridal portraits for FUN!

2007-11-11T20:49:00.001-08:00

Just in case any of you out there were wondering if I liked my job, I actually do it for fun too! These images were taken today of my neighbor, Melissa. Who knew that I lived next to a natural born model?? I thought these images turned out really well. Thanks Melissa for being such a great sport by playing in the leaves and riding a bike in THAT dress! It was a lot of fun.

Beach wedding in San Diego

2007-11-04T15:23:00.001-08:00

Now here's a couple after my own heart. A wedding right on the ocean! If only I could have been born a mermaid :) The ocean setting was very fitting since Tim and Michele own a company called Sail San Diego. They offer 3 hour sails around San Diego bay so if you have a special occasion, or just for fun, check them out at www.sailsandiego.com.
As you can see the bride and groom are gorgeous and incredibly kind as well. I was only there a few hours but had loads of fun. MY wedding photographer Nathan Petty joined me that day to show off his newest creation called WedSnaps. Check out some of those images at www.nathanpetty.com.

Wedding at Sycuan Resort and Casino San Diego

2007-10-09T10:41:00.001-07:00

Jessica and Eric

Wow! Another gorgeous wedding. Everyone at the wedding was stunningly gorgeous. The details were impeccable with pink, green and brown everywhere. The bride designed it all! The wedding took place at Sycuan Resort in San Diego. The weather was beautiful all day but left us with a little chill as the evening set in. That didn't stop any of the partying though because dueling pianos kept the crowd in rare form.....so much fun!

Outdoor wedding in San Diego

2007-10-04T22:19:00.000-07:00

Well, I thought it was about time to join the rest of the world and start up a blog. I'm kind of excited about it too! I recently had the opportunity to take wedding pictures of a friend of mine. Normally I make friends with the brides and grooms but this wedding I had the fortune of knowing Shannon before she was even engaged! The wedding took place in San Diego at Flynn Springs County Park. The weather decided it would take a turn for the worse and rain. Then, just before the ceremony, the sun came out. The lighting was beautiful! For those of you who have never been, its a great place to have a wedding. Its located in El Cajon, CA.
